Abstract
This paper proposes an FPGA based all-on-chip novel digital controller for DSTATCOM to compensate harmonics and reactive power existing in power distribution system. The proposed technique extracts reference current by considering instantaneous symmetrical component active power (ISCAP) theory based phase delay compensation (PDC) control technique. The proposed controller comprises positive sequence detector, PI-controller, low-pass filters (LPF) and hysteresis current controller. All these segments are configured on high speed, low cost field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) hardware resources intended to mitigate harmonics and compensate reactive power in power distribution network. Very high speed hardware description language (VHDL) implementation for each module are produced through system generator and implemented on SPARTAN-3 XC3S5000 FPGA chip through RT-XSG toolbox in Opal-RT platform. The performance of proposed controller is demonstrated through VHDL test bench, simulation and real-time experimental results with consideration of total harmonic distortion (THD) and power factor correction in steady state condition.
